Mom has severe chronic pain; torn rotator cuff and disk/nerve damage in lower back. Her vascular dementia is made much worse with pain killers. Corticosteroid injections are no longer helping. Any suggestions? At wits end!

This is so hard! Discuss with her dementia doctor what pain medications she might try now.
